We've covered all kinds of guides for makinggreathomemadepizza, but if you've never been quite satisfied with the results, it may be time to take more drastic measures. It may be time to build yourself a homemade pizza oven.

Boing Boing Gadgets's Steven Leckart details how $13.50 worth of ceramic firebricks and a basic pizza stone was enough to create the ultimate homespun pizza oven. Using the bricks in your regular oven:

Give your pizza a house: a roof over its head and walls. I placed 6 stones on the rack above and 2 on either side of the stone. My splits were too thin to balance on my rack, so I had to use strips of foil to hold them up.

From there, its simply a matter of getting your oven hot enough (500 degrees Fahrenheit is what he aims for). The results: You can expect crispier crust and more evenly done ingredients. Sounds like a worthwhile weekend project for a real pizza lover.
